What’s wrong with it?
AN IMPROPERLY SIZED BOLT HOLE WOULD REDUCE THE CLAMPINGFORCE BETWEEN THE TONGUE AND CROSSMEMBER, ALLOWING THE TONGUE TO PIVOT BETWEENTHE BALL HITCH AND THE SECOND CROSS BRACE. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE TRAILERJACKKNIFING, AND LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE TRAILER.
THE BOLT HOLDING THE TONGUE TO THE FIRST CROSS BRACE “U” MEMBER MAY PULL THROUGH BECAUSE OF AN IMPROPERLY SIZED HOLE IN THE CROSSMEMBER.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
